Blossoming Smile



Smile flits across the face
a blossom petal in the spring 
not that lasting 
but appreciated and welcome 
while it does.


It barely begins to grow 
not really there to put on a show
for the camera 
or acknowledgement of others. 
a personal smile 
intended for the person alone
lost in their memories
and travelling  in their own world.  


But to everyone else 
they are just a stranger 
smiling to themselves 
and the smile fades 
as quickly as the blossom
blows away in a breeze.
